Full textAbstract:
For my thesis project, I have chosen to explore the exaptation of a vacant office building doomed to be demolished in Stockholm into a residential tower. This project’s focus is the investigation of the reusability of our existing built environment in a sustainable way together with diverse collective living concepts and a comparison of the value added from a deconstruction, reuse and an environmentally sound concept versus a full demolition and subsequent new construction.The paramount challenges we are facing are the changing climate and limitation of natural resources. We have to address this issue by rethinking our societal and habitational models; the way we live, how we inhabit space, how do we use resources and consume goods and especially how do we design and build our cities.

Full textAbstract:
This research explores parallels, connections and synergies between public art, artistic practice beyond the gallery context, and Web 2.0, the Internet platform for user‐ generated content, online communication medium and host for web-based communities. I look at the impact, actual and potential, of Web 2.0 on the ways in which public art is made. Through Web 2.0 a different set of criteria and methods can be established in order to re-examine the practice of art. What can public art learn from Web 2.0? What are the possible debates that Web 2.0 can provoke in the field of public art? What novel forms of audience engagement with, and participation in, public art could be inspired by the practices of co-creation and sharing integral to Web 2.0? Has the relationship between artists and audience changed because of Web 2.0? Web 2.0 prompts us to reconsider the ways in which public art is produced. In my approach I take into consideration that Web 2.0 is useful in expanding the possibilities of public art by providing a unique opportunity for shared creativity in the public space. I call this field Public Art 2.0. This study considers the attributes of Web 2.0 as a methodological framework for public art. It offers a reconsideration of the understanding of the contentious issues surrounding the practice using Web 2.0 as a platform of shared creativity. To validate this argument further, this research investigates two case studies: the Big Art Mob (2006) and the Bubble Project (2002). Both initiatives represent an area where public art and Web 2.0 intersect. This thesis includes a report of findings from qualitative interviews with members of both projects. Public Art 2.0 is a hybrid type of practice that borrows from the digital world and applies the principles of Web 2.0 in the physical space. Public Art 2.0 is a creative space where changes are welcomed at any time. Public Art 2.0 is open source — a process of creation, encouraging multi-authorship and shared creativity. Public Art 2.0 is viral — it can be replicated and re-presented many times by anyone that wishes to do so. Public Art 2.0 is a platform that anyone can build upon and a process that enhances the ability to create together.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, 2005.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 153-157).<br>As digital entertainment applications evolve, there is a need for new kinds of platforms that can support sociable media interactions for everyday consumers. This thesis demonstrates an extensible method and sensing framework for real-time tracking of multiple objects on an interactive table with an embedded display. This tabletop platform can support many different applications, and is designed to overcome the commercial obstacles of previous single purpose systems. The approach is supported through the design and implementation of an acoustic-based sensing system that provides a means for managing large numbers of objects and applications across multiple platform instances. The design requires precise and dynamic positioning of multiple objects in order to enable real-time multi-user interactions with media applications. Technical analysis shows the approach l:o be robust, scalable to various sizes, and accurate to a within a few millimeters of tolerance. A qualitative user evaluation of the table within a real-world setting illustrates its usability in the consumer entertainment space for digital media browsing and game play. Our observations revealed different ways of mapping physical interaction objects to the media space, as either generic controls or fixed function devices, and highlighted the issue of directionality on visual displays that are viewable from different sides.<br>(cont.) The thesis suggests that by providing a general purpose method for shared tabletop display platforms we give application designers the freedom to invent a broad range of media interactions and applications for everyday social environments, such as homes, classrooms and public spaces. Contributions of the thesis include: formulation of an extensible method for media table platforms; development of a novel sensing approach for dynamic object tracking on glass surfaces; a taxonomy of interface design considerations; and prototype designs for media content browsing, digital storytelling and game play applications.<br>Alexandra Mazalek.<br>Ph.D.

Cette recherche porte sur les transformations sociales et spatiales d’établissements humains à travers l’architecture locale de Shanghai, que sont les unités urbaines appelées les shikumen lilong. Leurs existences dans la mégapole contemporaine, au-delà de leurs destructions ou de leurs protections, révèlent les traces d’une architecture urbaine en plein mouvement. Notre problématique est que tout changement passe par la complexité des rapports sociaux et spatiaux dans un espace commun, celui des espaces partagés. Nous soutenons que les processus d’appropriations, individuels et collectifs, sont reliés à l’échelle de la ville, du voisinage des lilong, de l’allée, et de la maison shikumen selon différents degrés de partage de l’anonymat au domaine de l’intime. Tous sont connectés par des toponymes, des formes, des manières d’habiter ou encore de fabriquer de nouveaux espaces. L’objectif de notre étude est de voir comment les espaces et les quotidiens des occupants ont évolué ou perdurent. Quels sont les facteurs de transformations ? Comment se mettent-ils en place ? Comment se développent-ils ? L’étude contemporaine des espaces, entre compartimentations et débordements, nous permet de révéler différentes aires historiques. Chaque acteur, que ce soit les occupants, les gouvernances, voire les agents extérieurs, se rejoignent à travers leurs actions. Des règles de vie communes ou encore des manières de faire évoluent avec le temps et leur environnement véhiculé par les lilong. L’architecture des shikumen lilong change ainsi entre les légitimités politiques, juridiques, règlementaires, les relations sociales et familiales<br>This research on human settlements’ socio-spatial transformations focus on Shanghai local architecture, such as the urban entity called Shikumen lilong. Their existences in the actual megacity, beyond their destructions or beyond their protections, reveal the marks of an urban architecture in movement. Our argument is that any change is going through complexes socio-spatial relationships in a common space, the shared spaces. We argue that appropriations processes, individual and/or collective, are connected at different level – the city, the lilong neighbourhood, the alleyway, and the shikumen house – according to various sharing degrees from anonymous to intimate relations. Residents and lilong are interconnected by place-names, forms, way of lives, and even way to transform their spaces. The objective of this study is then to understand how shikumen lilong residents’ daily lives and spaces evolve or remain. What are the factors of transformations? How are they set up? How do they develop? The actual study of spaces compartmentalization and added architecture, traces different historical era. Every actor, whether they are, the residents, governances, even outsiders, are linked through their actions. Common rules or ways of living evolve with time and environment conveyed by lilong. So that the architecture of shikumen lilong transforms in relation with: political legitimacies, legal status, and administrative records, social and family relationships

Full textAbstract:
<p>This thesis aims to explore the ways in which space patterns regimes of language use and language attitudes among Cameroonian immigrant children in a primary school in Cape Town. The presence of migrants in any classroom represents a significant challenge from the theoretical as well as practical point of view, given that schools are responsible for both socialization and learning (Gajo &<br>Mondada 1996). Most African countries are going through large-scale migration from rural to urban areas as well as increasing transnational migration due to recent socio-economic and socio-political trends. These flows affect the sociolinguistic economy of the places concerned, not only the individuals within them. Thus immigrants&rsquo<br>movement into an urban area not only affects their repertoires, as they find themselves confronted with the task of acquiring the communicative resources of the autochthonous population, but also those of the autochthonous population who find themselves confronted with linguistic communicative processes and resources &lsquo<br>alien&rsquo<br>to their environment. Similar effects are felt by local educational and other institutions, now faced with learners with widely varying degrees of competence in the required communicative skills. The participants in this study are a group of young migrants from Cameroon where English and French are the two official languages. These learners already have some languages in their repertoire, which may include their mother tongue or either of the two official languages. My focus will be on the multilingual resources of these learners and how they make use of these in the daily life of their new spaces, the school, the homes and community spaces, to construct new social identities.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Living in tune with nature means respecting the natural environment and realizing its power and the ways it manifests in daily life. This essay focuses on the ways in which respect for nature is expressed through animal imagery in Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God, Mark Twain's "The Stolen White Elephant," Roughing It, and Pudd'nhead Wilson, and Jack London's The Call of the Wild. Each author encouraged readers to seek the benefits of nature in order to become better human beings, forge stronger communities, and develop a more unified nation and world. By learning from the positive example of the animals, we learn how to share our world with them and with each other.

El tema de mi tesis tiene como principal enfoque brindar calidad de vida al adulto mayor. Por ello, el tema que escogí es Centro de día y residencia para el adulto mayor, ya que este brindara la infraestructura y herramientas sociales para que el adulto mayor se pueda tener buena calidad de vida e insertarse en la comunidad.
La etapa de vida por la que está pasando un adulto mayor debe ser la más satisfactoria, ya que en su mayoría, son personas que se han pasado la vida criando a sus hijos y trabajando por lo cual es el momento para disfrutar de todos los logros, por eso mi proyecto busca darles un espacio físico donde puedan recibir la atención básica que necesitan en su día a día y darles una buena calidad de vida a través de actividades y espacios comunes.
En los últimos años la población adulto mayor a incrementando significativamente, proyectándose para el 2020 que el 20% de la población será mayor a 60 años (Inei, 2016). Habiendo dicho lo anterior podemos darnos cuenta que este es un problema real del que aún no hemos tomado la conciencia suficiente, ya que si bien se habla de lugares y programas específicos para el adulto mayor aún no hay infraestructura eficiente para ellos en los distritos de lima metropolitana, debido a ello el tema de mi tesis busca ayudar a adultos mayores e incentivar la vida activa y saludable de este publico.<br>The theme of my thesis has as main focus to provide quality of life to the elderly, as in my opinion is a group of people who have not been taken seriously by society and are daily excluded from it. For this reason, the theme that I chose is the Day and Residence Center for the elderly, since it will provide the infrastructure and social tools so that the elderly can develop in their community and, most importantly, that they feel useful again and with a purpose.
In recent years, the elderly population has increased significantly and this is increasing, projecting for 2020 that 20% of the population will be older than 60 years (Inei, 2016). Having said the above we can realize that this is a real problem that we have not yet taken sufficient consciousness, because although we talk about specific places and programs for the elderly there is still no efficient infrastructure for them in the districts of Lima metropolitan, because of this the theme of my thesis is transcendental since it will be able to help a group of older adults and encourage other districts to have a day and residence center to cover the needs that this public may have and give them a good quality of life.<br>Trabajo de suficiencia profesional

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the current relationship between Aboriginal and EuroCanadian Anglicans in the Northwest Territories and the Yukon as they seek to move beyond past hurts into a more positive future. After three field trips to Canada's North, visiting seven communities and interviewing seventy-nine individuals, complemented by archival research, I realized the dominant narrative based on a colonialism process linking residential schools, Christian Churches and federal government in a concerted effort to deliberately destroy Aboriginal peoples, cultures, and nations was not adequate to explain what happened in the North or the relationship that exists today.
Two other narratives finally emerged from my research.
The dominant narrative on its own represents a simplistic, one-dimensional caricature of Northern history and relationships. The second narrative reveals a more complex and nuanced history of relationships in Canada's North with missionaries and residential school officials sometimes operating out of their ethnocentric and colonialistic worldview to assimilate Aboriginal peoples to the dominant society and sometimes acting to preserve Aboriginal ways, including Aboriginal languages and cultures, and sometimes protesting and challenging colonialist policies geared to destroying Aboriginal self-sufficiency and seizing Aboriginal lands.
The third narrative is more subtle but also reflects the most devastating process. It builds on what has already been acknowledged by so many: loss of culture. Instead of seeing culture as only tangible components and traditional ways of living, however, the third narrative focuses on a more deep-seated understanding of culture as the process informing how one organizes and understands the world in which one lives. Even when physical and sexual abuse did not occur, and even when traditional skills were affirmed, the cultural collisions that occurred in Anglican residential schools in Canada's North shattered children's understanding of reality itself.
While the Anglican Church is moving beyond colonialism in many ways - affirming Aboriginal values and empowering Aboriginal people within the Anglican community, it nevertheless has yet to deal with the cultural divide that continues to be found in their congregations and continues to affect their relationship in Northern communities where Aboriginal and EuroCanadian people worship together yet remain separate.

Full textAbstract:
How do infants grow in and into culture? How do they become competent participants in networks of meaning-making including people and artefacts? Typically research addressing these questions starts looking from the end of the first year, when infants' early dyadic social interactions are supposed to turn "triadic", that is, are extended to include objects and aspects of the world, only then giving rise to cultural learning, symbol use, co-operative participation. In the face of mismatches with everyday experience and counter-evidence from recent empirical studies, we revisit several research programs dealing explicitly with the development of infant-caregiver-object interactions to arrive at a critical appreciation of how the concept of triadic interaction and the core narrative developed. On this basis, and drawing from embodiment, situatedness, and dynamical systems, we construct our own approach for exploring the development of jointly practicing social object activities, which we frame in terms of attention- and action-coordination. We conducted a naturalistic longitudinal study visiting 16 infants in their homes once a month from 3-12 months and documenting infant-caregiver-object interactions. Adapting techniques from interaction and conversation analysis, and using macro-and micro-analysis of video recordings, we 1) explore and analyse the development of book sharing as a model activity over the first year of life, we 2) develop concepts and methods to characterize and analyse different modes of engagement, and patterns of coordination, infants and caregivers employ in a wide variety of ecological contexts, and 3) introduce the notion of jointly moving through affect-imbued action arcs together. Finally, we 4) sketch a tentative developmental trajectory of participation in social object activities, reconceptualising the shift from "dyadic" to "triadic" interactions as "jointly structuring shared spaces of meaning-and-action" of increasing complexity. In particular, we propose the mapping of complex action structures on familiar affect-imbued action arcs as a bridge towards activities such as collaborative participation, symbol and conventional object use, cultural learning and co-creation.

Tang, Bo. "Negotiating shared spaces in informal peri-urban settlements in North India : collaborative architectural making as a catalyst for civic empowerment and social change." Thesis, London Metropolitan University, 2014. http://repository.londonmet.ac.uk/4538/.
Full textAbstract:
This research investigates the nature and creation of common places in informal peri-urban settlements in North India through negotiation and sharing. It aims to develop a profound understanding of the effect of the post-hoc introduction of amenity buildings and city infrastructure in the creation of common places. The approach takes collaborative architectural making as a catalyst for civic empowerment and social change, discussed primarily through first-hand experience of practical small-scale live interventions in two urban conditions of scarce resources. These interventions serve as case studies. The research hypothesises that the social structure and order of shared spaces is continually transforming, adjusting and being re-made to accommodate the changing urban conditions within low-income settlements. The informal negotiation of these common spaces creates a shared collective identity. This study suggests that collaborative place-making engenders a renewed understanding or interpretation (by the urban migrant/citizen) of the nature of common places, in which the origins or memory of the traditional rural village are transformed into a new situation of the urban village within the host city. Central to the research was the development of spatial practices through small-scale interventions in two peri-urban settlements, which acted as vehicles for understanding the civic and institutional order of town for all constituents (including myself as PhD by Practice). The contribution to knowledge proposed by this research is two-fold: (a) the first part (chapter 2) addresses spatial practices and develops a methodology for collaborative making by which this is both understood and created. (b) the second part (chapter 3) uses these methods as a basis (research tool) to understand the nature of civic order in informal peri-urban settlements in North India, and the way the institutional/civic order of these settlements is made. In this way, the thesis provides insights which broaden and deepen our understanding of shared spatiality beyond the concept of 'public space'. The two case studies of on-going live projects provide the empirical basis for this study: (1) The Kachhpura Settlement Upgrading Project (KSUP) started in 2006 focuses on sanitation in Agra, beginning with the introduction of household toilets leading to a natural Decentralised Waste Water Treatment System (DEWATS) turning foul drain effluent into a community resource for clean water. (2) The Quarry Classrooms Project initiated in 2008 deals with amenity buildings in quarry worker settlements in Navi Mumbai. Both projects were carried out in collaboration with Indian Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), local communities, and architectural researchers and students from London Metropolitan University, involving a strong hands-on participatory approach from the bottom up. Connections are established between improved access for basic services, amenities and facilities, and the opportunities for creating common places, leading to suggestions for improving, appropriating and cultivating shared territories in today's informal peri-urban settlements, both culturally and physically. Insights are gained into the role of architectural professionals and students as designers, makers and curators in partnering with the local NGO and settlement families. The study concludes with suggestions on how the notion of cooperative place-making might be applied in other situations of rapid change and scarce resources where architect, NGO and local population might collaborate to provide shared infrastructure and community facilities, creating opportunities for improving livelihoods and the quality of life within informal peri-urban settlements in North India. Through the approach of collaborative architectural making as a catalyst for civic empowerment and social change, this study makes explicit a process that was implicit before, a process which enables the creation of social and political institutions for marginalised people to participate as citizens within the host city.

Full textAbstract:
This paper explores the social aspects of a new kind of mobile games where players interact with each other in a shared physical space as well as in-game. As technology spreads throughout layers of culture and everyday life, and gaming becomes increasingly widespread, we see a future in social digital games through the use of smartphones, because of their prevalence and their technical versatility. This poses new challenges for designers. By using the context of music selection in semi-public to public situations and with the help of prototypes, we explore the problems of making selections and connections in large groups as well as delivering feedback. As a result of this project we arrive at elements such as participation, competition, scalability and the importance of social interactions between participants which can be used when designing systems in similar contexts.

Full textAbstract:
Shared spaces have proven to be the most sustainable solution in the midst of growing demand to implement sustainable lifestyles and at present, co-living is the most trending housing option. In these coliving spaces, the common shared spaces are very important among which kitchen is the most critical one as most of the tasks are carried out there. The main objective of this study is to find if a relationship exists between task lighting, illuminance and multiple users in shared residential kitchens. Limited research in this area has been the primary motivation for this study. Furthermore, during the course of the study, the importance of flexibility in the task lighting for shared residential kitchens was investigated. Realizing the objectives, the study aims at answering the following main investigation questions: Is task lighting in a shared kitchen designed with the number of users in mind and does it consider the different ways in which they perform different tasks at the same time? Should the lighting design standards be reconsidered for shared residential kitchens? Would flexibility in the lighting devices be beneficial for shared kitchens ? The main investigation questions are answered with the help of the following sub-investigation questions which mainly highlights the relation between the multiple users, illuminance and task performances. Do multiple users affect the various performances carried out in a shared kitchen? Are there any shadows cast by the multiple users in a shared kitchen? Do they affect the illuminance levels in the task areas and thereby affect the visual and task performances? Case studies of two different shared residential kitchens were carried out. The methodology of the case study involved two stages, complete site analysis and an experiment. The experimental set up is adapted from McGuiness, Boyce and Harker‘s investigation study “The effects of illuminance on task performance in domestic kitchens” and was modified to suit this study. The experiment was conducted in two different scenarios. Quantitative and qualitative analysis was carried out during the study. The end results of the experiment proved that there is a strong influence of multiple users on the task performances without having any major impacts on the lighting conditions. This indicated that new lighting standards have to be framed for shared residential kitchens in the aspects of ergonomics and flexibility. The importance of flexibility in shared spaces and in shared residential kitchens was realised was considered just beneficial in terms of mood, comfortability and practicality.

Gullström, Charlie. "Presence Design : Mediated Spaces Extending Architecture." Doctoral thesis, KTH, Arkitektur, 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-24448.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis is a contribution to design-led research and addresses a readership in the fields of architecture as well as in media and communications. In juxtaposing the tools of the designer (e.g. drafting, prototyping, visual/textual/spatial forms of montage) with those of architectural theory, this thesis seeks to extend the disciplinary boundaries of architecture by observing its assimilation of other media practices. Its primary contribution is to architectural design and theory, and its aims are twofold: Firstly, this thesis applies the concepts of virtual and mediated space to architecture, proposing an extended architectural practice that assimilates the concept of remote presence. Through realized design examples as well as through the history and theory of related concepts, the thesis explores what designing mediated spaces and designing for presence entails for the practicing architect. As a fusion of architecture and media technology, video-mediated spaces facilitate collaborative practices across spatial extensions while simultaneously fostering novel and environmentally sustainable modes of communication. The impact of presence design on workplace design is examined. As an extended practice also calls for an extended discourse, a preliminary conceptual toolbox is proposed. Concepts are adapted from related visual practices and tested on design prototypes, which arise from the author’s extensive experience in designing work and learning spaces. Secondly, this thesis outlines presence design as a transdisciplinary aesthetic practice and discusses the potential contribution of architects to a currently heterogeneous research field, which spans media space research, cognitive science, (tele)presence research, interaction design, ubiquitous computing, second-order cybernetics, and computer-supported collaborative work. In spite of such diversity, design and artistic practices are insufficiently represented in the field. This thesis argues that presence research and its discourse is characterised by sharp disciplinary boundaries and thereby identifies a conceptual gap: presence research typically fails to integrate aesthetic concepts that can be drawn from architecture and related visual practices. It is an important purpose of this thesis to synthesize such concepts into a coherent discourse. Finally, the thesis argues that remote presence through the proposed synthesis of architectural and technical design creates a significantly expanded potential for knowledge sharing across time and space, with potential to expand the practice and theory of architecture itself. The author’s design-led research shows that mediated spaces can provide sufficient audiovisual information about the remote space(s) and other person(s), allowing the subtleties of nonverbal communication to inform the interaction. Further, in designing for presence, certain spatial features have an effect on the user’s ability to experience a mediated spatial extension, which in turn, facilitates mediated presence. These spatial features play an important role in the process through which trust is negotiated, and hence has an impact on knowledge sharing. Mediated presence cannot be ensured by design, but by acknowledging the role of spatial design in mediated spaces, the presence designer can monitor and, in effect, seek to reduce the ‘friction’ that otherwise may inhibit the experience of mediated presence. The notion of ‘friction’ is borrowed from a context of knowledge sharing in collaborative work practices. My expanded use of the term ‘design friction’ is used to identify spatial design features which, unaddressed, may be said to impose friction and thus inhibit and impact negatively on the experience of presence. A conceptual tool-box for presence design is proposed, consisting of the following design concepts: mediated gaze, spatial montage, active spectatorship, mutual gaze, shared mediated space, offscreen space, lateral and peripheral awareness, framing and transparency. With their origins in related visual practices these emerge from the evolution of the concept of presence across a range of visual cultures, illuminating the centrality of presence design in design practice, be it in the construction of virtual pictorial space in Renaissance art or the generative design experiments of prototypical presence designers, such as Cedric Price, Gordon Pask and numerous researchers at MIT Media Lab, Stanford Institute and Xerox PARC.<br>QC 20100909

El colegio no es sólo un lugar de aprendizaje, sino también un medio por el cual uno crece como persona, forja sus valores y sueña con un futuro prometedor. Es definitivamente un lugar importante el cual debe estar dotado de ambientes de calidad, una buena enseñanza y que a su vez sean estimulantes para un buen desarrollo en la vida. Lamentablemente en el Perú existe un gran déficit en el ámbito educativo, ya sea por la falta de estos espacios o por la deplorable situación en la que se encuentran sobre todo en el sector público. Sumado a esto hay muchas personas que por diversos motivos no tienen la posibilidad de estudiar, lo cual afecta al desarrollo y crecimiento del país.

Full textAbstract:
In Northern Ireland, the Good Friday Agreement brought with it a great deal of attention and initiatives to construct and increase intergroup contact and shared spaces in an effort to reconcile divided nationalist/Catholic and unionist/Protestant communities. In the time following this peace agreement, the Belfast Giants ice hockey team was established, and in their 16 years as a team they have become one of the most attended spectator activities in Belfast, trending away from the tribalism, single-space, single-class, and single-gender dynamics of modern sport in Northern Ireland. This thesis research followed the supporters of the Belfast Giants throughout the 2015-2016 ice hockey season to better understand the encounters across historical divisions that are occurring in the Scottish and Southern Energy (SSE) Arena. The research of this PhD thesis is directed by the concepts of social capital, intergroup contact, and civility. These concepts, when placed within the context of divided society, contribute to the thesis' guiding analytical framework, which offers thematic guideposts in areas of prejudice and anxiety, tolerance and trust, space and identity. Influenced by in-depth qualitative research that seeks to access local voices, this research takes the conceptual and analytical guidance into the stands of the SSE Arena. In this way, the unique 'side-by-side' methodology, which involved conducting interviews with the person in the seat to my left or right at Belfast Giants ice hockey games while immersing myself in the supporter community, emerged as not only a contribution to unearthing new voices in this oft-studied region, but also as an innovative contribution to qualitative methodological literatures. Beyond the methodological contribution, this thesis makes two further contributions to existing academic literatures on post-peace agreement relationships. The first of these is through the clear relationship between identity and space that are evident in its findings. Between the poles of conflict and reconciliation are the complex and simple interactions, which when placed in the SSE Arena at a Belfast Giants game illustrate the multi-layered and fluid nature of identity. The thesis finds the hockey arena is a space where a shared identity, 'the hockey family', materialises and includes nationalist and unionist populations. This shared identity is deeply connected to a physical place and activity that are situated outside the all-encompassing nature of division in present-day Belfast. However, within the unusual setting of an ice hockey arena in Northern Ireland there emerges ordinariness in encounter across historical cleavage, and from these mundane interactions comes the final contribution 'side-by-sidedness'. Influenced by supporters' willingness to sit side-by-side those on the opposite side of a historical division who they may not be willing to live beside, this theme is framed as a lightened encounter that challenges assumptions inherent in post-peace agreement settings. The research findings frame the SSE Arena as a site of sanctuary from polarised sectarian identities and activities, as well as a site of resistance from overarching peace agendas that push shared space and seek reconciliation. Side-by-sidedness exists in the everyday between these two poles. In highlighting this space between, this theme challenges the assumptions of 'face-to-faceness' that are inherent across the three concepts informing this thesis and through utilising notions of everyday peace and everyday division to include the relational, the spatial and the metaphorical, this thesis' meta-theme frames a new way of 'getting on with it' in the shadows of conflict.

New school buildings are met with questions in growing cities like Stockholm: How to place them? Which scale? What use, degree of openness, and flexibility, and for whom? This reflection has been made in relation to a suburban area, resulting in a proposal for smaller schools supported by another, shared, building that welcomes more specific activities and is open to the public. It would offer more specialized and adapted spaces to cooking, sewing, music and dance classes, as well as a bigger library and would intensify their use.

Full textAbstract:
La ville africaine s'étale et intègre les villages environnants en devenant métropole. Que ce soit le mouvement des ruraux vers les villes ou bien de la ville vers la campagne, ces phénomènes inquiètent les spécialistes. La pensée traditionnelle du monde qui opposait ville-campagne, ville-village, ville-brousse, n'est plus d'actualité. Les réalités du territoire sont devenues autres. Quels sont les outils qui nous permettent de lire ces nouvelles réalités? Comment opérer ce changement de «lunettes» que nous propose Bernardo Secchi pour lire et écrire la «ville contemporaine»?Pour nos recherches, nous considérons Ouagadougou comme un véritable observatoire. L'objectif est d'apprendre des lieux d'initiatives où se construisent de nouveaux modes de vie dans des dynamiques imprévues. Aujourd'hui, la capitale burkinabé est caractérisée par une double identité foncière. Une organisation foncière publique importée de la pensée coloniale dite « lotie », et une organisation foncière informelle issue de la culture villageoise dite « non-lotie ». À force de coexistence, le développement de métropole n'a t-il pas engendré d'autres phénomènes, avec des degrés et des intensités variés de planification et de spontanéité? La rencontre des deux modes opératoires ne définit pas un rapport dual, mais un intervalle. Dans ce contexte, le « village » entendu dans sa dimension sociale et communautaire devient, en milieu urbain, générateur d'espaces communs. Les structures communautaires testent les possibles et inventent la métropole au quotidien : elles rendent flexible toute forme de planification. Ainsi, nous formulons l'hypothèse que l'étude de la « Métropole-village(s)» de Ouagadougou peut amener à de nouvelles connaissances permettant la création d'outils de compréhension des territoires urbanisés contemporains<br>The African city spreads and incorporates the surrounding villages becoming metropolis. Whether the migration from rural to urban or from the city to the countryside, these phenomena became a concern for specialists. Traditional thinking of the world that opposed city-countryside, city-village, city-bush, is no longer valid. Territory's realities became different. What are the tools that allow us to read these new realities? How can we proceed to a change of "glasses" that Bernardo Secchi is proposing, in order to read and write the " contemporary city "?For our research, we consider Ouagadougou as a true observatory. The objective is to learning places of initiatives which build new lifestyles in unexpected dynamics. Today, the capital of Burkina Faso is characterized by a dual identity of the land. Public land organization imported from the colonial thinking called " lotie " (subdivided area) and an informal tenure arrangements after the village culture called “non-lotie” (non-subdivided area). To force to coexistence, hasn't the metropolis generated new phenomena, with different degrees and intensities of planification and spontaneity? The meeting of the two procedures does not define a dual report, but an interval. In this context, the "village" understood in its social and community dimension becomes an urban environment generating shared spaces. Communal structures are questioning what is possible and redefine what a metropolis is every day: they make flexible any form of planning. Thus, we hypothesize that the study of "City-village(s)” of Ouagadougou may lead to new knowledge to the creation of tools for understanding contemporary urbanized territories

The general objective was to explore from management, the imaginaries that are created in SC from its urban practices and social narratives.
The thesis is a compendium of publications. The first is a systematic literature review on the SC concept. An important added value of this article is that it is the first academic study that examines and systematizes the practices of sharing in SC. The results strengthen the relationship between the sharing city label and how it uses place branding and place management strategies to consolidate its representation.
The second publication focuses on the implementation of the SC by the institutional actor. Through the frame analysis, the strategic communication of Barcelona as a SC was explored. The results show that the local government accompanies urban growth from a social perspective, fosters narratives to identify and include more actors in the process, and transmits the values of sharing in a positive way.
The third publication deals with coworking spaces in SC. The study was carried out in offices in Barcelona and Berlin, following the Grounded Theory method. The results revealed that atmospheres of place are designed to promote sharing, the commitment of members with the space/community, and that the culture of sharing is reinforced with corporate communication tools.
This thesis contributes to the discussion about SC as an emerging label that focuses on community ideas and values. In addition, it places attention on urban practices and social narratives that promote the permanent relationship between city actors, as well as the search for citizen consensus.

Full textAbstract:
The complexity of developing multiplayer games, along with their popularity, has grown tremendously in the recent years. The most complex of these, Massively Multiplayer Games (MMOGs), require developers to deal with many issues, such as scalability, reliability and cheat prevention. Although individual solutions to these problems exists, very little academic work has been done to address all these issues simultaneously. In addition, experimentation in these areas can require a significant implementation effort.In this work, we present Journey, a unified framework that address all these issues in a simple, modular and efficient architecture leveraging replicated objects. Scalability is addressed through the use of a dynamic cell load-balancing strategy while fault tolerance and cheat prevention are achieved by leveraging existing replicated objects in the system. The proposed framework is implemented using numerous enhancements not found in traditional replication, like obstacle-aware partitioning and remote procedure call systems.The efficiency of this framework is illustrated through the use of Mammoth, a massively multiplayer research framework. Using experimental data from human players, artificial players (NPC) were built and used to stress test and gather performance data. Analysis of this data demonstrated that load balancing provides important scalability benefits while very little overhead is incurred from the fault tolerance and cheat prevention systems.<br>Dans les dernières années, la popularité des jeux multi-joueurs a connu une croissance sans égale. Cette croissance a aussi provoqué une augmentation importante dans la complexité de développement, surtout pour les jeux en ligne massivement multi-joueurs (MMOGs). Ces jeux posent des problèmes sérieux, tel que la croissance de capacité, la fiabilité et la prévention de la tricherie. Quoiqu'il existe de nombreuses solutions pour chacun de ces problèmes, très peu de travail académique adresse tous ces problèmes ensembles. De plus, l'expérimentation dans ces domaines nécessite de grands efforts de développement.Ce document présente Journey, un cadre de librairies informatiques unifiées qui adresse tous ces problèmes avec une architecture simple, modulaire et efficace tirant parti de la technologie des objets répliqués. Journey utilise un système d'équilibrage de charge avec cellule dynamique pour pallier aux problèmes de capacité. De plus, les défis de tolérance des failles et la prévention de la tricherie peuvent être adressés à l'aide des objets déjà répliqués dans le système. L'outil proposé utilise plusieurs améliorations qui n'existe pas dans la réplication traditionnelle, tel que la division des espaces prenant compte des obstacles et l'exécution de méthode distantes.La performance de Journey est évaluée à l'aide de Mammoth, un outil de recherche pour les environnements massivement multi-joueurs. À l'aide de données expérimentales de joueurs humains, des joueurs artificiels on été construits pour mesurer la capacité et la performance de l'outil proposé. L'analyse de ses données démontre que l'équilibre des charges démontre une grande augmentation de capacité.

Full textAbstract:
Shared space is that “all street users move and interact in their use of space on the basis of informal social protocols and negotiations” (Hamilton-Baillie 2008). By minimizing demarcations, the dominance of motor vehicles reduces and it enables all users to share the space. As a result, drivers and cyclists have to reduce their speed, pedestrians watch more carefully to surroundings traffic. The purpose of shared space is to improve the road safety and build a pedestrian priority environment. But there are also concerns about the shared space safety. Since the roads are unregulated, they may become more dangerous to some pedestrians. The vulnerable pedestrians and designs have to be identified. This thesis explores the factors of shared space users and shared space itself to see if they will be potential dangers to the traffic. The case study focuses on two shared spaces in Stockholm city involving both residential area and famous tour site. The result shows that factors like gender, age, and partners do have different effects on traffic safety issues in shared space zones. But some factors like vehicle type, vehicle speed are not shown much difference in shared space zones. The thesis study gives detailed conclusions of the factors that can affect the shared space safety and suggestions on a shared space should be designed.

This study is an examination of issues affecting the use of a shared graphic space (SGS). A working definition for an SGS is a virtual, computer-mediated blackboard that allows the simultaneous presentation and editing of visual information by two or more participants. The issues affecting the use of an SGS involve how people communicate with it. The addition of any technology into an already complicated situation like distance learning should be examined from multiple angles. In order to examine an SGS as a channel for communications, this study framed the SGS in terms of the nature of the feedback and noise that are present when we examine interactions in this space.
This study examined 16 dyads interacting with whiteboard software to communicate solutions to 6 tangram puzzles. In all problem sets, participants used the text inherent in the whiteboard software as well as graphics to communicate potential solutions with each other in dyads. The participants also had access to audio for communications during either the first 4 or final 2 problem sets.
Analysis of the results of this study show that the use of graphics for communication is dependent on accompanying communication channels. The addition of an audio channel for communications inhibited the use of text for communications. Graphics were used concurrently with audio as a dynamic enhancement to verbal communications. Graphics were not used concurrently with text. Graphics either occurred before or after text and were used as static illustrations or were used independent of text. The feedback mechanisms for the SGS were largely through the text or audio modes of communication.
The graphic capabilities inherent to the SGS were an affordance to present and manipulate visual information. The SGS encourages new ways to interact and unique patterns of interactions between users. The manner in which graphics were used by each dyad was determined by the dyad and did not conform across the dyads. The unstructured nature of the SGS was a contributing factor in causing differentiation of the inter-dyad communication from intra-dyad communication. This lack of structure in the SGS was a source of noise in, as well as a source of freedom for, interactions in the SGS. The development of an etiquette for interacting in this unstructured space was developed dynamically and pragmatically and should be a source of future study. Shared space, that can be used for simultaneous, real time communications with graphics, changes the manner in which teachers and students can collaborate and construct new learning environments.<br>Ph.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the nature and impacts of social change in a remote rural, island area within the Scottish Gaidhealtachd. It seeks to contribute to an in depth understanding of how the social and economic system of crofting, as well as the Gaelic culture which has related closely to it in such areas, has evolved over the past 40 years. The case study area of South Uig in the Isle of Lewis has low population numbers and offers an opportunity to study these processes of change in microcosm. Where appropriate, inferences can be drawn from the study which may contribute to the formulation of policy for similarly remote rural places and the fragile cultures which are integral to them.

Full textAbstract:
Despite advances in image, video, and motion capture technologies, human interactions are frequently represented as line drawings. Intuitively, drawings provide a useful way of filtering complex, dynamic sequences to produce concise representations of interaction. They also make it possible to represent phenomena such as topic spaces, that do not have a concrete physical manifestation. However, the processes involved in producing these drawings, the advantages and limitations of line drawings as representations, and the implications of drawing as an analytic method have not previously been investigated. This thesis explores the use of drawings to represent human interaction and is informed by the prior experience and abilities of the investigator as a practising visual artist. It begins by discussing the drawing process and how it has been used to capture human activities. Key drawing techniques are identified and tested against an excerpt from an interaction between architects. A series of new drawings are constructed to depict one scene from this interaction, highlighting the contrasts between each drawing technique and their impact on the way shared spaces are represented. A second series of original drawings are produced exploring new ways of representing these spaces, leading to a proposal for a field-based approach that combines gesture paths, fields, and human figures to create a richer analytic representation. A protocol for using this approach to analyse video in practice is developed and evaluated though a sequence of three participatory workshops for researchers in human interaction. The results suggest that the field based process of drawing facilitates the production of spatially enriched graphical representations of qualitative spaces. The thesis concludes that the use of drawing to explore non-metric approaches to shared interactional space, has implications for research in human interaction, interaction design, clinical psychology, anthropology, and discourse analysis, and will find form in new new approaches to contemporary artistic practice.

The orthogonal space-time block code is applied to SOQPSK waveforms in the same way it would be applied to symbols. The procedure allows the receiver to orthogonalize the link. The main benefits of this orthogonalization are the easy realization of the transmit diversity for the offset-featured SQOSPK, and the removal of the noise correlation at the input to the space-time decoder and the elimination of I/Q interference when space time orthogonalization is applied to the symbol level.

Full textAbstract:
Seit etwa drei Jahren wird in Deutschland eine intensive fachliche, öffentliche und politische Diskussion darüber geführt, ob das sogenannte Shared Space-Prinzip in Klein-, Mittel- und Großstädten zur Verbesserung der Verkehrsverhältnisse beitragen kann. Die öffentliche Darstellung von Shared Space wird dabei von deren Befürwortern oft in hohem Maß überzeichnet. Zudem werden inzwischen unterschiedlichste Lösungen undifferenziert unter dem Schlagwort Shared Space zusammengeworfen. Dies führt im schlimmsten Fall dazu, dass Shared Space als vermeintliches Allheilmittel für sämtliche innerstädtischen Verkehrsprobleme interpretiert und als Maßnahme zur generellen Verbesserung der Verkehrssicherheit angepriesen wird. Die Unfallforschung der Versicherer (UDV) tritt daher dafür ein, die häufi g sehr emotional geführte Diskussion um Shared Space auf eine sachliche und fundierte Grundlage zu stellen. Was ist eigentlich Shared Space? Als Shared Space (frei übersetzt: Gemeinsam genutzter Raum) wird eine harmonisch geteilte und konfl iktfreie Nutzung eines weitgehend beschilderungs- und regelungsfreien Straßenraums durch alle Verkehrsteilnehmer bezeichnet. Die mehr raum- als verkehrsplanerische Gestaltungsphilosophie basiert auf städtebaulichen Maßnahmen zur Aufwertung der Aufenthaltsqualität (Aufhebung der baulichen Trennung von Fahrbahn und Gehweg, hohe Gestaltungsqualität) und beinhaltet verkehrstechnische Maßnahmen in Form einer weitgehenden Deregulierung (Abbau von Verkehrszeichen und Ampeln). Durch einen selbsterklärenden Straßenraum sollen alle Verkehrsteilnehmer zu einem sozialen Miteinander erzogen werden. Dabei soll sich der motorisierte Verkehr als Gast im Straßenraum fühlen, was zu erhöhter Vorsicht und mehr Sicherheit beitragen soll. Damit dieses Prinzip der Sicherheit durch Verunsicherung aber funktioniert, ist ein entsprechendes Verkehrsnetz erforderlich. Das so genannte schnelle Netz dient der Verbindung zwischen den langsamen Netzen. Im schnellen Netz ist der Kraftfahrzeugverkehr dominant, im langsamen Netz sind es Fußgänger und Radfahrer. Zur Philosophie von Shared Space gehört zudem ein kommunikativer Planungsprozess, der alle Beteiligten zusammen bringt. Shared Space ist also ein umfassender und vielschichtiger Planungsansatz, der weit mehr beinhaltet als die Umwandlung einer Straße in eine Mischverkehrsfläche.

La Globalización 3.0 propone un nuevo reto para los diseñadores y arquitectos de todo el mundo: diseñar programas arquitectónicos eficientes incorporando espacios compartidos generadores de sociedad. Para ello, se propone clasificar los espacios de la vivienda en dos tipos. Los primeros son los espacios donde se realicen actividades netamente privadas y los segundos son espacios donde se realicen actividades que se puedan desarrollar en sociedad. Teniendo en cuenta que estos últimos se utilizan solo el 20% del tiempo, se propone unir estos espacios con los de otras viviendas para generar un espacio mayor de uso más eficiente, el cual se llamará espacio compartido.
Este proyecto plantea cumplir “el reto” con la creación de una nueva tipología de Vivienda Colectiva de Estudiantes, para satisfacer la alta demanda que se presenta en Lima. La Vivienda Colectiva de Estudiantes se ubicará en San Borja, siendo parte del gran eje cultural nacional del que son parte: la Biblioteca Nacional, el Gran Teatro Nacional, el Museo Nacional, el Centro de convenciones, entre otros. Sirviendo de punto medio entre el eje cultural y la zona residencial.
Además de ser un espacio de interacción social e intelectual entre estudiantes de diferentes carreras, la Vivienda Colectiva de Estudiantes tendrá como objetivo principal servir como apoyo y complemento a la formación del estudiante, brindando todos los espacios y servicios que este requiera y de esta manera apoyar a construir un capital humano con conocimiento e inteligencia, con miras al desarrollo y a la investigación.<br>Globalization 3.0 proposes a new challenge for designers and architects around the world: to design efficient architectural programs incorporating shared spaces that generate society.

Taking into account that the last ones are used only 20% of the time, it is proposed to unite these spaces with those of other housings to generate a larger space of more efficient use, which will be called shared space.
This project intends to face "the challenge" with the creation of a new type of Collective Student Housing, to satisfy the high demand presented in Lima. The Collective Student Housing will be located in San Borja, being part of the great national cultural axis, of which are part: the National Library, the Great National Theater, the National Museum, the Convention Center, among others. Serving as a middle point between the cultural axis and the residential area.
In addition to being a space for social and intellectual interaction between students of different careers, the Student Collective Housing will have as its main objective to serve as support and complement to the student's formation, providing all the spaces and services that this requires and, in this way, supporting to build human capital with knowledge and intelligence, with development and research ideals.<br>Tesis

Full textAbstract:
Shared space is a design approach that aims to reduce the dominance of motor vehicles by encouraging drivers to behave more accommodatingly towards pedestrians. The primary objectives of shared space in the UK are to improve pedestrian accessibility and safety. Despite its acknowledged advantages, research into the effects of shared space on vehicles and pedestrians remains limited. This research represents a unique opportunity to assess the impact of shared space by examining people's attitudes and behaviour before and after several shared space implementations. Factors that influence vehicle yielding and pedestrian gap acceptance behaviour were investigated at three case study sites in London and Bath. Predictive models for examining yielding and gap acceptance behaviour using logistic regression were developed. These models are a function of driver and vehicle attributes including gender and type of vehicle, pedestrian characteristics including assertiveness and age, and traffic conditions including the size of the gap between vehicles. The results suggest that drivers are statistically seven times more likely to yield to assertive pedestrians, and the presence of pedestrians in the roadway and the numbers of pedestrians waiting to cross both have a positive effect on yielding behaviour. Gap acceptance analysis indicated that pedestrians are statistically three times as likely to accept a gap between vehicles if there are other pedestrians already present in the roadway, and that female pedestrians are statistically 50% less likely to accept a gap than male pedestrians. Despite several statistically significant predictor variables, regression coefficients indicate that only around 30% of the variance in yielding behaviour and around 50% of the variance in gap acceptance behaviour can be explained by the models. This suggests that there are other unobservable variables that influence the behaviour of pedestrian and vehicles in shared space schemes. In order to further understand pedestrian and vehicle behaviour, road users were surveyed before and after a shared space implementation in Newcastle upon Tyne. Attitudes towards the shared space scheme were assessed through a survey of 500 road users before and 500 after the development. Attitudes were measured according to 29 items using an attitudinal scale. Statistically significant differences at the 95% level of confidence were recorded in how respondents perceive the accessibility of the environment, with improved perceptions after the development. Survey findings also show that perceptions of the negative IV consequences of vehicle traffic have been reduced after the development and the ambience of the street environment has improved. The angle and speed of crossing movements were recorded to analyse the effect of the development of the street on pedestrian crossing behaviour. There were some interesting findings, with pedestrians crossing on statistically significantly wider angles after the development, but no statistically significant differences in observations of pedestrian crossing speed. A sociability index was calculated to compare the number of people using the space in couples or groups to the number of people using the space on their own. No differences in sociability were found before and after the development, with an equal proportion of pedestrians observed using the street in couples or groups and on their own. Finally, to assess the effectiveness of the traffic calming measures, vehicle speed and volume were recorded before and after the development. There were statistically significant differences in vehicle speed, with mean average speeds decreasing by 13% after the shared space development and 85th percentile speeds decreasing by 19%. Vehicle volume also decreased after the development, with a reduction of 30%. The development was found to have been largely successful, with the introduction of shared space and reductions in vehicle flow and speed either having positive or neutral effects on pedestrian activity. This has positive implications for mixed-use local high streets, and suggests that shared space schemes can play a part in reversing the decline of such areas. In summary, this PhD research has demonstrated that shared spaces can help to nullify some of the negative effects of vehicle traffic, encourage cooperative behaviour between motorists and pedestrians and moderate the movement functions of mixed-use high streets.

Kitchens are too small to hold a gathering of friends. Spare bedrooms, garages, basements, offices and parlors are foregone in the interest of compaction. The Rise of the Creative Class, an economic engine with its roots in the city, faces an especially challenging relationship to space. While the vitality of urban density is paramount to the success and growth of creative economies, a lack of available affordable space curtails the potential growth of home brewed culture, entrepreneurship and industry. This project engages this resource gap by imagining a cooperative model as a core infrastructure for the creative city. The context for this project is within the future Innovation District of Boston on the Fan Pier Boston site. The innovation District is currently being imagined by the City of Boston, the Boston Redevelopment Authority, developers, architects and planners as a mixed-use neighborhood with the economic and cultural energy to attract a global creative class workforce. Fan Pier Boston is a flagship development within the Innovation District. Due to ongoing global recession, 7 of the 8 buildings proposed for the site have been deferred. The COOP is situated in this interim period, between the existing expanse of parking lots that occupy Fan Pier Boston today, and its future promise as a hub of global innovation. The COOP condenses the vitality of a creative city onto the site of the Fan Pier. Membership owned kitchens workshops and film studios combined with public event spaces for film screening, art openings and concerts anticipate a future creative class urban fabric for the future Boston Innovation District.<br>by Timothy R.

Full textAbstract:
In the last several years, there has been growing worldwide interest in making streets safer for all users--pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. One approach, shared space, is a traffic calming technique as well as urban design concept. This technique strives to fully integrate the roadway into the urban fabric by removing elements such as lane markings, curbs, and traffic signs. By removing these elements and creating a more plaza-like space, these sites become ambiguous and no user group as priority. The technique is relatively new, and the majority of existing research concerns pedestrians only. This mixed methods research focused on six intersections in England with the goal of understanding how bicycle riders perceive and travel through shared space intersections. Using video observations of the six sites in three cities, three shared and three control, this project analyzed the variations in the paths cyclists rode through the intersections. Data were collected on several variables related to both the cyclists and their interactions with the site itself such as helmet use and riding through crosswalks. Path analysis required the development a new evaluative variable in order to compare individual paths by how much deviation there was in each path ridden as compared to other cyclists. Site-specific surveys addressed the perceptions, bicycling experience, demographics, and path and route preferences by cyclists at both shared space and control intersections. The analysis indicated that cyclists rode similarly through both shared and control intersections, and that a large percentage of riders preferred to ride farther from motor vehicles when given the space to do so. This project offered further insight in how to best design shared space projects for nonmotorized users by looking at the spatial layout and the elements that most influenced a rider’s path choice. Results indicated that, in these cases, shared space was not the panacea for nonmotorized users as some literature suggests, but nonetheless appeared to be a valid form of traffic calming. This research offered further insight in how to best design shared space projects for nonmotorized users by looking at the spatial layout and the elements that most influenced a rider’s path choice.

Full textAbstract:
This paper presents DSM64: a lazy release consistent software distributed shared memory (SDSM) system built entirely in user-space. The DSM64 system is capable of executing threaded applications implemented with pthreads on a cluster of networked machines without any modifications to the target application. The DSM64 system features a centralized memory manager [1] built atop Hoard [2, 3]: a fast, scalable, and memory-efficient allocator for shared-memory multiprocessors.
In my presentation, I present a SDSM system written in C++ for Linux operating systems. I discuss a straight-forward approach to implement SDSM systems in a Linux environment using system-provided tools and concepts avail- able entirely in user-space. I show that the SDSM system presented in this paper is capable of resolving page faults over a local area network in as little as 2 milliseconds.
In my analysis, I present the following. I compare the performance characteristics of a matrix multiplication benchmark using various memory coherency models. I demonstrate that matrix multiplication benchmark using a LRC model performs orders of magnitude quicker than the same application using a stricter coherency model. I show the effect of coherency model on memory access patterns and memory contention. I compare the effects of different locking strategies on execution speed and memory access patterns. Lastly, I provide a comparison of the DSM64 system to a non-networked version using a system-provided allocator.

Full textAbstract:
In Northern Ireland, the concept of 'shared space' has evolved through a number of policy documents to indicate what is generally regarded as an aspirational objective to develop spaces that all sections of society can use and share in a society that remains divided along ethno-national lines. Societal cohesion and the transformation of conflict cannot take place without addressing the territorial dimension of the conflict itself. In ethno nationally divided cities, issues of space and territory become magnified, representative of and mapped onto the conflict itself. The way people negotiate space in divided cities is central to the way that conflict is rehearsed and manufactured, reified and transformed. The production of shared space is therefore an important element for the reconciliation of conflict. This dissertation explores how shared space is produced in Belfast by examining policy, the physical environment and the social construction of space, interrogating the relationship between these elements. I examine the way that space is understood culturally in Northern Ireland and the way that these understandings inform spatial narratives and practices. By employing ethnographic methods combined with a critical policy approach, policy is explored not only in terms of a textual analysis, but also in terms of the social and political contexts in which specific policy documents emerged and the policy process itself. Utilising three case studies that are socially and materially distinct from one another, this dissertation illustrates the challenges of producing shared space in different contexts and highlights the ways in which policy narratives can influence the production of space. Ultimately, I argue that space is best understood as flu idly existing along a spectrum, with 'shared space' not necessarily determined by the material environment, but by the quality of interaction that occurs within it.

Full textAbstract:
Given the popularity of Java, extending the standard Java virtual machine (JVM) to become cluster-aware effectively brings the vision of transparent horizontal scaling of applications to fruition. With a set of cluster-wide JVMs orchestrated as a virtually single system, thread-level parallelism in Java is no longer confined to one multiprocessor. An unmodified multithreaded Java application running on such a Distributed JVM (DJVM) can scale out transparently, tapping into the vast computing power of the cluster.
While this notion creates an easy-to-use and powerful parallel programming paradigm, research on DJVMs has remained largely at the proof-of-concept stage where successes were proven using trivial scientific computing workloads only. Real-life Java applications with commercial server workloads have not been well-studied on DJVMs. Their natures including complex and sometimes huge object graphs, irregular access patterns and frequent synchronizations are key scalability hurdles. To design a scalable DJVM for real-life applications, we identify three major unsolved issues calling for a top-to-bottom overhaul of traditional systems.
First, we need a more time- and space-efficient cache coherence protocol to support fine-grained object sharing over the distributed shared heap. The recent prevalence of concurrent data structures with heavy use of volatile fields has added complications to the matter. Second, previous generations of DJVMs lack true support for memory-intensive applications. While the network-wide aggregated physical memory can be huge, mutual sharing of huge object graphs like Java collections may cause nodes to eventually run out of local heap space because the cached copies of remote objects, linked by active references, can’t be arbitrarily discarded. Third, thread affinity, which determines the overall communication cost, is vital to the DJVM performance. Data access locality can be improved by collocating highly-correlated threads, via dynamic thread migration. Tracking inter-thread correlations trades profiling costs for reduced object misses. Unfortunately, profiling techniques like active correlation tracking used in page-based DSMs would entail prohibitively high overheads and low accuracy when ported to fine-grained object-based DJVMs.
This dissertation presents technical contributions towards all these problems. We use a dual-protocol approach to address the first problem. Synchronized (lock-based) and volatile accesses are handled by a home-based lazy release consistency (HLRC) protocol and a sequential consistency (SC) protocol respectively. The two protocols’ metadata are maintained in a conflict-free, memory-efficient manner. With further techniques like hierarchical passing of lock ownerships, the overall communication overheads of fine-grained distributed object sharing are pruned to a minimal level. For the second problem, we develop a novel uncaching mechanism to safely break a huge active object graph. When a JVM instance runs low on free memory, it initiates an uncaching policy, which eagerly assigns nulls to selected reference fields, thus detaching some older or less useful cached objects from the root set for reclamation. Careful orchestration is made between uncaching, local garbage collection and the coherence protocol to avoid possible data races. Lastly, we devise lightweight sampling-based profiling methods to derive inter-thread correlations, and a profile-guided thread migration policy to boost the system performance. Extensive experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of all our solutions.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Computer Science<br>Doctoral<br>Doctor of Philosophy

Nesta dissertação analisa-se o processo pelo qual as práticas urbanas socioespaciais colaborativas da sociedade civil agem sobre um espaço público aberto, transformando-o, pelo seu uso, em um espaço \"comum\". Estamos em um momento histórico no qual o planejamento urbano tradicional, reconhecido comumente como um processo top-down, está cada vez mais dividindo seu espaço com as práticas ditas bottom-up. Nesse sentido, este trabalho se propõe a ser um estudo do uso contemporâneo do Largo da Batata, em São Paulo, compreendendo o período do final da década de 1990 até 2017, com especial destaque para o momento em que a região teve seu acesso reaberto ao público em 2013. Público este que, por sua vez, começou a se apropriar do lugar. A investigação é sobre os processos de uso propositivo dos espaços públicos -- praças, ruas e parques -- por parte da população, tendo como objetivo a identificação de como essas práticas urbanas coletivas produzem, pelo seu uso, lugares com qualidades diversas das previamente conhecidas e mapeadas, permitindo o encontro de diferentes tipos de pessoas e de cuidado comum. Para tal, esta dissertação pretende investigar novos campos de ação dentro da profissão de urbanista, e mesmo novos métodos no que se refere ao planejamento urbano participativo e à criação de plataformas para a autogestão e a gestão compartilhada. Conclui-se que ampliar os horizontes da análise socioespacial de insurgências cidadãs no espaço público pelo olhar do urbanismo pode aproximar o debate acadêmico do ativismo cidadão e comunitário, e também contribuir para a investigação de possibilidades de colaboração entre urbanismo tradicional e urbanismos táticos, revelando um caminho do conhecimento em construção.<br>In this dissertation, the process of civil society\'s collaborative spatial practices influence on an open public space, transforming it into a \"common\" space, is analyzed. This is a historical moment in which traditional urban planning, recognized as a top-down process, is often divided more closely with bottom-up practices. In this sense, this work proposes to be a study of the contemporary usage of the Largo da Batata, in São Paulo, comprising the period from the late 1990s to 2017, with special emphasis on the moment when the square area was reopened to the public in 2013 - when the place was appropriated to the public. The investigation is about the processes of the usage of public spaces - squares, streets and parks - by the populace, with an objective to identify how these urban practices through the use of these places produce qualities different from those previously known and mapped, allowing the encounter of different types of people and common care. In order to do so, this work intends to investigate new fields of action within the urbanist profession, and even new methods regarding participatory urban planning and the creation of platforms for self-management and shared management. It is concluded that widening the horizons of socio-spatial analysis of citizen insurgencies in the public space through the view of urbanism can bring the academic debate closer to citizen and community activism, and also contribute to the investigation of possibilities of collaboration between traditional urbanism and tactical urbanisms, revealing a path of knowledge under construction.

Storytelling is one of the oldest models of cultural expression in human history. Thanks to the evolution of information technologies, the Web 2.0 paradigm has impacted in this field: some modern audiences actively participate in their favorite narrative worlds. We define Shared Narrative spaces as informative spaces concerning narratives created, developed and maintained through the collaboration of multiple authors. Our research aims to understand the perception of SNS using a HCI (human-computer interaction) lens, and to define the determinant factors affecting users’ interaction (exploration, comprehension and contribution) with them. We approach the issues of multiple authoring as an opportunity for collaboration through a storyline paradigm grounded on classic narratology, and use it to examine the users’ perception and exploration of SNS. We propose an analysis framework that suits the comparative analysis of narrative systems of very diverse nature, which allows us to study the interplay of fundamental HCI aspects. Finally, we lay out the bases of a general model to approach the design of a wide range of collaborative narrative systems.

Abstract During the last couple of decades a lot of research efforts have been spent on developing different spectrum sharing concepts. As the traditional regulatory methods for spectrum allocation are proving inadequate in responding to a growing need for mobile spectrum in a timely manner and finding spectrum for exclusive use is getting increasingly difficult, the political atmosphere is also becoming more and more receptive to new innovative spectrum sharing concepts that increase the efficiency of spectrum use. These concepts also provide regulatory authorities an opportunity to fundamentally change the current major operator driven mobile market and thereby to allow new players and innovative services to surface. However, there is still a gap between the work done by the research community and the work of the regulatory authorities. In this thesis, the aim is to clarify the reasons behind this gap by analysing three prevailing regulatory spectrum sharing concepts: Licensed Shared Access, the three-tier model and TV white space concept. As different stakeholders involved in spectrum sharing – the incumbent user, the entrant user and the regulatory authority – have very diverse roles in spectrum sharing, their incentives and key criteria may vary significantly. In order for a spectrum sharing concept to have a chance in a real life deployment, all these perspectives need to be carefully considered. In fact, a feasible spectrum sharing concept is a delicate balance between the viewpoints of different stakeholders, not necessarily the one offering the most efficient spectrum utilization. This thesis analyses spectrum sharing concepts from all these perspectives and as a consequence unveils the common process model for implementing a spectrum sharing concept in real life, highlighting the distinct roles of different stakeholders in its phases<br>Tiivistelmä Parin viimeisen vuosikymmenen aikana tutkimusyhteisö on kehittänyt valtavasti eri käsitteitä ja tuloksia taajuuksien yhteiskäyttöön.

Taajuuksien yhteiskäyttömalleihin liittyvä tutkimustyö ei kuitenkaan usein palvele suoraan taajuusviranomaisten tarpeita. Tämän työn tavoitteena on selvittää syitä tähän kolmen vallitsevan joustavan taajuuksienkäyttökonseptin avulla: lisensoidun taajuuksien yhteiskäyttömallin, kolmitasoisen taajuuksien yhteiskäyttömallin ja TV kaistojen yhteiskäyttömallin. Eri toimijoilla on hyvin erilaiset roolit taajuuksien yhteiskäytössä ja siksi sekä heidän kannustimensa että keskeiset kriteerit voivat olla hyvin erilaiset. Käytäntöön sopiva jaetun taajuudenkäytön malli onkin usein kompromissi eri näkemysten omaavien toimijoiden kesken, ei välttämättä taajuuksien käytöltään tehokkain vaihtoehto. Tässä työssä analysoidaan eri taajuuksien yhteiskäyttömalleja sekä eri toimijoiden näkökulmia.
